Structure assessment: Assess the interior of concrete and pavement for asset management and maintenance planning

pulseEKKO is designed to meet the needs of GPR professionals, addressing a wide range of GPR applications.

The operating bandwidth is selectable from 12.5 MHz to 1000 MHz to optimize the system spatial resolution required by target size and exploration depth.

The fully bistatic design enables variable antenna offsets and orientations for advanced survey types such as multi-offset, transillumination and multi-polarization.

The selected components can exploit many deployment configurations available for practical field operation.

Data are acquired in Sensors & Software’s industry standard format for analysis with a range of processing and visualization software products.

pulseEKKO components

Starting from a common control center, assemble the pulseEKKO components into a system best suited to your GPR application. Pick the antenna or transducer that provides the desired operating bandwidth.

Applications:

TR1000 Transducers

This compact transducer combines the 1000 MHz transmitter and receiver into one integrated package. Lightweight and portable, it is optimized to access those hard to get at areas and contains an integrated odometer for positioning.
Transducer footprint: 0.13m×0.19m
Nominal spatial resolution length: 0.02m

Applications:

Borehole Antennas

Borehole antennas allows pulseEKKO PRO users to investigate areas inaccessible to traditional surface GPR antennas. Crosshole surveys are performed by placing the antennas into the material under investigation and emitting signals from the transmitter through the material to the receiver.
Diameter: 0.03m

Literature

Case Studies

GPR Bathymetry

Hydrologists and engineers often require accurate water depth and information about sub-bottom stratigraphy in shallow freshwater lakes and rivers. Uses can vary from estimating available water volumes to the engineering design of new structures.
